Did Cooper S's come with a fan spacer standard or was the plastic fan just bolted up to the pulley. Engine has the large 2 piece S crank damper and when the fan is bolted up to the pulley, is very close to the crank damper  If they did come with a spacer, how thick was it?

yep, should have a spacer, about 1/4" thick - I put 2 of them on my dad's car make sure you put the fan on the right way too - it's marked on it

i assume this improves the cooling? by moving the fan closer to the rad? |

I'm running a bit hot lately (ok it is 34 degrees today) but I was wondering if this fan is set up correctly ... 
... from the point of view of the engine the fan is spinning anti clockwise. |

That should be right. It should blow through the radiator. |

Erm correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Cooper S's came with the 16 blade metal fans and not the plastic ones? |
